RESPECT LIFE "Meanwhile, sonograms and embryology have made people aware of how well developed fetuses are while still legally vulnerable to abortion. We even do surgery on fetuses now, which makes aborting them seem that much more perverse." (Willima Saletan - Pro-Choice columnist, "Life After Roe," March 2006) Note that many minds have been changed since abortion was made legal! Kathleen Esh

Attention all St. Joseph Campus Sacristans, Lectors

and Eucharist Ministers. There will be a brief meeting in the Social Hall on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 at 7:00pm at the St. Joseph's Campus. —Deacon Darrel & Chris Branch

ACCL NEWS THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT BABIES!

"Math" from LifeNews.com. January 22 marked the 41st year of legalized abortion. Since that day in 1973, about 56,662,169 abortions have snuffed out the lives of tiny babies and wounded women. This means~ in our country only ~ 3,786 abortions every day, 157 every hour and about 2.6 abortions every minute. Each number is a living baby who was in the womb, waiting to be born. Are you speaking out? Are you informed about where you can direct those who are in need of healing? Are you

ready to assist with the ACCL (A Community Caring for Life) Group? Contact Kathleen Esh, kmeyesh@yahoo.com or (952) 933-7610.

Parish News

Dear Parishioners, This week we celebrate Catholic Schools Week, and it will be the first time that we do so with Notre Dame Academy. It has been a joy to watch our new school take shape – the faculty and staff, the parents, the volunteers and the students have all worked so hard to create a vibrant, thoroughly Catholic school in which we can take pride, and I am extremely grateful to them. I recently met with a potential tenant of our St. John’s campus school building, and came away from the conversation grateful for our Catholic school. The people with whom I spoke were clearly religious, but because they operate a charter school, they have to be careful that the school has nothing to do with religion. I consider that such a handicap, because our faith is not just an appendage that you can amputate and get by without; it is the foundation of our understanding of the world, and the lens through which we view every subject and every interaction throughout the day. Walking through the halls and speaking with the kids at Notre Dame Academy, it is very apparent that their faith plays a big part in their education, and that it is nourished and enriched every day. We will kick off Catholic Schools Week with a pancake breakfast on Sunday, January 26, and conclude it with Bingo after Mass on Saturday, February 1, with proceeds going towards Notre Dame Academy. These events are meant to be parish events, so that we can engage all of our parishioners in supporting our school. Please come! One of the challenges of being a part of a regional school, particularly when we are not a host site, is continuing to send new families and new students to the school. To all of our parents in the parish who are looking for a school or pre-school for your children, please consider Notre Dame Academy your first option. Come to the pancake breakfast at St. John’s campus on January 26, and come to the Notre Dame Academy open house at 9:30am on Sunday, February 2. I am confident that when you meet our teachers and tour the building, you will see that Notre Dame Academy is the right place for your child. Fr. Liekhus

Please pray for those in nursing homes, the families of the sick, caregivers, the military and their families, and for the following: Art Altenhofen, Ingrid Barnes, Anne & Ron Bisson, Jeanette Blake, George Brichacek, Dan Cunningham, Tom Deyo, Marie Edquist, Jean Feltl, Baard Flesche, Greg Gipp, Millie Good, Grace Hektner, Dee Holschuh, Dorene Johnson, Dorothy Kilian, Barb Kok, Pat Krueger, Margaret LeSage, Barb Mackintosh, Pat Malinowski, Rose McGonagle, Dolores Millerbernd, Dick Olson, Alice Paulsrud, Bernie Reid, Joshua Reid, Sharon Reid, Maryanne Remington, Wilma Roberts, Muriel Ryan, Diane Schmerler, Jean Schwappach, Sam Seward, Kathleen Shannon, Jeanne Sheck, Donna Sidla, Sandy Sperrazza, Gil Stifter, and Carole Teclaw. Deceased: Please pray for the repose of the soul of George Roberts, husband of Wilma and brother of Mary Anne Roberts, and pray for all his family and friends who mourn him.

To add a name to the list, please notify the Parish Office. Because of the length of the list, names will be published for one month. Should you wish this extended, call the

Parish Office. Thank you.

A Listening Presence Everyone at times has difficulties and needs someone who will listen and empathize and be a reminder of a caring faith community. BeFriender ministry is not a ministry of “doing” but of “being.” BeFrienders provide care through a listening presence to anyone experiencing grief, loss, transition or other cares. To request a visit, contact Mary Fran Karanikolas, Pastoral Minister at (952) 935-5536.

For all of us, the new and the old, there will be an information/training session to help us understand how to be good hosts for the homeless put on by a staff member for FMF. The session will be made up of videos, presentation and Q&A. I’m looking forward to it. The session will be March 8, 2014 from 9:00am to 1:00pm at St. John’s campus. Mark your calendar and plan to attend. There will be a bulletin reminder again in late February. Deacon Francis

SAN GABRIEL ARCANGEL

Confesiones, domingos 12;30pm Santa Misa, domingos 1:00pm

Pastor: Rev. Padre James Liekhus (Padre Jim)

952-935-5536 www.stgabrielhopkins.org III Domingo Ordinario “A” 26 de enero del 2014

DIVISIÓN Es una situación que se presenta con más o menos im-portancia: cristianos divididos. Un juego de baloncesto de la CYO pone a dos equi-pos de parroquias vecinas en oposición. Los padres de los jóvenes que juegan se insultan y lanzan amenazas unos a otros para mostrar su “superioridad”. Una iglesia protestante y una católica están en pro-piedades aledañas. Cada una está alerta para remover a los que se estacionan violando las señales “privadas” de dónde estacionar. Un pastor de avanzada edad se jubila y permanece como párroco emérito residente en su parroquia. Un nuevo párroco toma su lugar y muy pronto se entera de que su “comunidad” de fe no está de acuerdo con sus decisiones. San Pablo se enfrenta a desacuerdos similares que ocurrían en la iglesia joven de Corinto. Él los anima a que se pongan de acuerdo y a que vivan unidos en el mismo pensar y sentir. La primera lectura de hoy tomada del profeta Isaías habla de un pueblo agobiado por el peso del pecado y la oscuridad. Ciertamente las disputas y diferencias entre nosotros se pueden catalogar así. El Evangelio nos cuenta sobre el inicio del ministerio de Jesús. La luz ha llegado y nos anima a cambiar “nuestra vida y corazón porque está cerca el Reino de los Cielos”. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

GRUPO DE ORACION Sábados 7:00pm

Catequesis de Padres de familia Bienvenid@s a la Santa Misa

SÓLO JESÚS Debemos orar sin cansarnos, porque la salvación de la humanidad no depende del éxito material… sino sólo de Jesús.

LAS LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor glorificó el distrito de los gen-tiles (Isaías 8:23 — 9:3). Salmo — El Señor es mi luz y mi salvación (Salmo 27 [26]). Segunda lectura — Les ruego que se pongan de acuerdo, que no haya divisiones entre ustedes (1 Corintios 1:10-13, 17). Evangelio — Jesús les decía: “Cambien su vida y su cora-zón” (Mateo 4:12-23 [12-17]). LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 2 Sm 5:1-7, 10; Sal 89 (88):20-22, 25-26; Mc 3:22-30 Martes: 2 Sm 6:12b-15, 17-19; Sal 24 (23):7-10; Mc 3:31-35 Miércoles: 2 Sm 7:4-17; Sal 89 (88):4-5, 27-30; Mc 4:1-20 Jueves: 2 Sm 7:18-19, 24-29; Sal 132 (131):1-5, 11-14; Mc 4:21-25 Viernes: 2 Sm 11:1-4a, 5-10a, 13-17; Sal 51 (50):3-7, 10-11; Mc 4:26-34 Sábado: 2 Sm 12:1-7a, 10-17; Sal 51 (50):12-17; Mc 4:35-41 Domingo: Mal 3:1-4; Sal 24 (23):7-10; Hb 2:14-18; Lc 2:22-40 [22-32] TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Esta semana recordamos la memoria de san Juan Bos-co conocido como “Don Bosco”. Es curioso el apelativo de “Don” ya que es un título para nobles señores. En siglos pasados era el título común para un sacerdote diocesano, mientras que el título hermano se reservaba para sacer-dotes y hermanos religiosos. En la Iglesia católica existen dos clases de sacerdotes. Unos son diocesanos o seculares quienes dedican su vida a la diócesis a la que pertenecen. Estos sacerdotes hacen voto de celibato y obediencia al obispo local. El otro grupo de sacerdotes son los que per-tenecen a órdenes religiosas. Ellos viven en comunidad y hacen votos de pobreza, celibato y obediencia a su comu-nidad. En muchas partes a todos los sacerdotes religiosos o diocesanos se les llama “padre”. Este título fue usado en la Primera Iglesia y durante la Edad Media para honrar a hombres santos, ya fueran laicos o sacerdotes. Se les llamaba “padres” sólo cuando habían llegado a mostrar, con una larga vida, que podían animar a los demás con su buen ejemplo. Todos los sacerdotes debían vivir de tal manera que merecieran el título de padre, sin desearlo directamente.
